The menu now caters to hungry vegan customers of Scotland with Pasta Pomodoro (giant fusilli spirals topped with cherry tomatoes, basil and olive oil), vegetable samosas, jacket potatoes with a side salad and baked beans, large onion bhajis and sweet potato, and chickpea and spinach curry on offer.

The menu provides tips for diners wanting a vegan-friendly dish, with nachos (without the cheese and sour cream), corn on the cob (without butter) and side salad (without dressing) all available to eat.

“More than ever before, vegan eating has hit the mainstream, as customers continue to clamour for cruelty-free foods at the establishments they know and love”, says PETA’s manager of special projects, Dawn Carr. “Wetherspoons is giving kind consumers exactly what they’re asking for, and PETA encourages other eateries to follow suit.”

On their website, John Hutson CEO of Wetherspoons, says: "We know that the Sunday roasts are popular, but the size of our menu has increased, over time, along with the number of meals we serve on Sundays.

"We are keen not to put ourselves in a position where we could start letting customers down with our service and have decided to concentrate on serving from our already-extensive menu."
